When you get people saying "Mustang takes it's rightful place on top!" and that sort of trolling, you have to expect some bashing. Especially with that constipated back end design.

Any speculations on how the new Coyote will match up against the LS3?? I've heard a decent amount about the v6 but no numbers on the v8, anyone care to speculate?

IMO it's no worse then the rear of the Camaro.

Those people are douchebags. I do not want to be a douchebag, nor should you!

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere, but without DI I am assuming these HP numbers come with premium fuel? To me, that is the most obvious next step for the LLT motor, up the cr a bit to run premium for another 20-30 hp. There is still a lot left on the table with the LLT motor.

hold the phone, ford in one year will be taken all camaro awards. the mustang v6 will be faster, and the v8 when it recieves the 5.0 will be faster. all these stangs were lacking was power and in a year they will get it. power, light weight, and handling. the mustang will have it all.
oo well at least the camaro had it one year of glory...unless we get a 550hp Z28 to destory the gt500 to keep car magazines busy to not notice that our SS and LT are not up to pare with the mustang GT and V6

It'll probably keep going back and forth each model year.

It seems Cobra owners aren't too fond of the supposed 400+ hp GT.

BackinBlackSS/RS · 11-30-2009, 09:15 PM

Oh I'm sure the coyote engine is gonna be the next best thing since sliced bread and will kick the LS3's ass.

No, the 3.7L Ford is not rated on premium unleaded. Makes you wonder what it cranks on premium unleaded, doesn't it?

Guys, this is great for everybody who loves American cars. By now it should be very clear that this is not the same old Ford, and the Camaro was obviously built by a company that cannot fairly be called the same old Chevy. To steal a phrase....it is on like Donkey Kong....and the folks likely to find themselves on the worst end of this new era in Detroit run car companies based in places we once referred to as the Axis Powers. Funny, it's deja vu all over again.

Some people never learn.
